You're a clown!! I'm not IJEBU

I won't expose my identity on the internet because anyone from Epe will know my family - we're very popular there. I'll give you my mother's lineage, and anyone from Iperu Remo will know the family, but because it's a big one - I doubt you'll be able to trace my mum,

My mum's family lineage is AGBONMAGBE which birthed OKUPE and others - that's all I'm going to tell you,  If you know IPERU REMO, you'll know EYO FESTIVAL actually belongs to her family lineage, and they brought it to Idumagbo,

The Ijebu's primary settlements in Lagos are Epe, Ikorodu and Ibeju-Lekki,  According to pops, some settled on Lagos Island in places like Idunmagbo and Ebute Ero,  The Taiwo Olowos' from Lagos Island are our distant cousins,  That's all I'm going to say about that,

Every simpleton knows that IKOKORE is our dish,

I'm not the type to claim what I'm not - I did that when I was younger trying too hard to be Jafrican - but I'm wiser now,  I'm proud of my culture and heritage - and I'm proud of Nigerian,  Proudly Nigerian, Yoruba and Ijebu, period,

Ibeju-lekki is not part of Ijebu settlement, Parts of Badary is Ijebu and actually back in those days Ijebus held the control of the trades between the upperland yorubas and the british/portugeses. Badary was a famous trading point

Ikokore that is true, how do you make it ?

Hmmmm I dey watch you, no make mistake o !!!

Historically, Edo people are closer to Yoruba than Igbo - culturally, politically and otherwise. Even as far as to Benin republic their story of old speaks on it. Lagos state traditional name is an evidence to that.

There is a close tie between Yoruba and Edo people.

Last time I checked, beauty was in the hands of the beholder? Anyway, lets get back to the main topic: Are the Edo closer to the Igbo or the Yoruba?

Edo guys are sexy

Ibeju-lekki is not part of Ijebu settlement, Parts of Badary is Ijebu and actually back in those days Ijebus held the control of the trades between the upperland yorubas and the british/portugeses. Badary was a famous trading point

Ikokore that is true, how do you make it ?

Hmmmm I dey watch you, no make mistake o !!!  

Based on what pops told me - Ibeju-lekki is part of Ijebu settlements in Lagos, But it seems you Aworis have claimed that as yours, like you claimed EYO, huh

I don't really know how to make Ikokore but I know there's a special yam for it called iwora or something, The yam is purple-ish and they scrap it through a grater, They cook it with palm oil and other ingredients, Mum used to put a lot of fish, shrimps and all sorts

Proper Ijebu merchant inna da house, dun know, Oriki Ijebu, WE'RE THE RICHEST AMONGST THE YORUBA PEOPLE AND WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN, EWESO!!!!!!!!

PhysicsQED:

lol, thanks for the correction.

i prefer my "thank-you(s)" in a brown envelope. so let me know when u have it.

anyways, laters.

there's a special yam for it called iwora or something

ewura or water yam.

I think I should post my pics, so people can stop bickering about which tribe produce the best looking guys in Nigeria

No tribe comes close to the Yoruba tribe - I'm not a tribalist, and I could care less about tribe,

As for the girls, I have seen a lot of nice Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa girls - I can't really say which one is better, All Nigerian girls are the same to me - Nigerian girls have big bosom - but overall East African and South African girls are the best looking girls in Africa, I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just judging based on what I've seen - but I still prefer my "always playing too hard to get" Nigerian girls to other girls

As for the guys, Yoruba guys all the way, there is no competion,

Tired of reading! Some folks are just ignorant,history will judge.

LOL,

@OP is[b] OBA[/b] an Igbo or Yoruba word?

Benin in is not an Edo word it is Itsekiri(Yoruba dialect.)

Edo and Yoruba are culturaly fused.

But Edos are not HOMOGENEOUS like Yorubas.

Edo men got swag, dey are very sweet
they are the most underrated men in Nigeria. they got character and spirit. .we need to see more edo men around

edo men

@onila
The thread is about culture or romance, don derail the thread, Edo guys are good looking, yet you posted some guy with a forehead that will make Rihana Jealous, and the other ones looks like a Village headmaster, NO BRUNO/HOMO

Edo men like patrick obahiagbon The village headmaster with his trouser to the belly, huh

NO HOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pardon my typos - I can't be arsed to proof read everything I type,

I'm enjoying this thread,

I love my naija family, dun know

edo.girl:

i hasten to add that i'm not an expert in these things, so i could be wrong. what's important though is that, i do not forsee a situation where binis will agree to form a political union with igbos. dont ask me why? they will in my view, prefer to look westward, or join a 'niger delta' country even though that may not be perfect either.

So to conclude, it appears that Edo people are further away politically from Igbos than Yoruba.

Then again, it probably doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out, hehehe

It wasn't so in 1966 just before the coup that changed everything. NCNC once owned the midwest. It can be that way again in the future. It all depends. Don't let ACN governorship of Edo today fool you.

Southern African girls got nothing on west african girls. Senegalese, mali, guinea, Nigerian girls give them a run for their money

I said: "based on my opinion!", I judged it based on what I call BEAUTY - which include BIG BUM and BOSOM,

The only West African girls with those qualities are Ghanaians, Gambians, and Sierra Leoneans, Maybe, very few Nigerian girls, Naija girls have big tits but they're money grabbers, As for the other West Africans girls - their faces don't do it for me, East African and South African girls have some of the biggest BUMS known to mankind Burundi, Uganda, Zimbabwe and South Africa - all I can say is wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow,

But I still prefer my Naija girls - and I have only gone out with Nigerian girls, They're relationship types, and we can relate on a lot of things, But for pleasure - I prefer East and South African girls

edo girls are pretty too. .dey look like igbos

Is this true?

Was NCNC popular in the non Igbo parts of the Midwest, PhysicsQED (or anyone else who can answer knowledgeably about the Midwest at that time)?

Awolowo won Bendel in 1979 as well, if I am not mistaken.

With the Igbo parts of Bendel now in Delta State, there is pretty much nil chance of Edos ever forming any political alliance with Igbos (well, at least given what we know now. Certainly things could change in the future. . . )

Returnee Slaves only own Campos and Lafiagi area - they don't own all of Isale-Eko, Idumagbo and other places are owned by mostly Aworis and a few Ijebus,

What political 1966 are you talking about.

Did 1966 change the use of OBA word in benin?

Did 1966 changed the name BENIN(not an Edo name)?

Did 1966 change the use of Yoruba names buy BENIN people?

Go dig up history You will see Edos and Yorubas are culturally mixed.

@Onila
Any clown can post the pics of a couple of good looking Edo girls, we're talking about the percentage of good looking ones, I don't want to see faces because face can be deceiving - can we see their full body

Almost every East African or South African girls has a BIG BUM, But I have seen Naija gals with BUMS as flat as Oyingbo BUM, trust me, But I don't mind as long as I can get some Jellof Rice and Pounded yam off them - I'm happy
